Luoyang, Henan: Steel furniture companies have opened up a "new track" to attract foreign orders

In a small town in Yibin District, Luoyang, Henan, thousands of enterprises are producing and supporting facilities around an industry. The steel furniture produced is sold to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, with a total output value of nearly 20 billion yuan. This year, nearly half of the companies here have been affected by export tariffs on the United States, but local companies have opened up a "new track" and attracted many foreign investors who come to inspect factories with intentional orders.

The new track that attracted foreign businessmen to visit was discovered by Wei Pengfei when he was exhibiting abroad. Because wooden furniture in Southeast Asia was affected by the humid climate, it was constantly repaired and repaired, and the frequency of replacement was high, which was not durable. He realized that this might be a market that steel furniture could replace, so he quickly led the team to conduct in-depth research. Through nearly a month of research and development, the steel plates treated with special processes not only highly restore the color of the wood, but also have the feel of the wood, but also have three times the service life of wooden furniture. Once launched, many dealers made reservations. Since April, companies have received more than 20 domestic and foreign dealers.

At the annual Jinjiang International Shoe Industry and Sports Industry Expo, the head of the clothing company said when talking about the export pressure brought by the US tariff policy that this year their company's "friend circle" is becoming increasingly larger, with Europe growing from 30% to about 55%, and South America rising to about 25%. In recent years, with the help of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", the company's orders have also grown significantly.

At the exhibition, local companies brought the latest carbon fiber materials, "AI+sports and other series of technological innovation products, which made new and old customers shine.

At the exhibition site, there were also customers who placed orders directly with cash.

While the "Friends" are getting bigger and bigger, Jinjiang's textile and shoe companies are also actively seeking change, from the supply of raw and auxiliary materials, design and production, and not only export finished products, but also export the "supply chain". The "supply chain" exports not only the clothing or shoemaking industry, but also expands to fabrics, sanitary products and other fields. This foreign trade method is gradually becoming a trend in Jinjiang this year.
